IN BRIEF
Tucked away in a residential close behind the centre of Palmers Green, this one bedroom duplex apartment with allocated parking has a light and airy feel. Located the centre of this friendly neighbourhood it has easy access to the station and shops.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Benefitting from leafy and far-reaching views thanks to its second and third floor location, this one bedroom duplex apartment in a low-rise block forms part of a popular residential development built in the 1980s/1990s. Set in communal grounds, the block is set back from the road behind a residents’ car park, where you have an allocated parking space.

Accessed via a smart shared entrance with an entryphone and stairs, the apartment entrance on the second floor opens into a small hallway which has doors to the open plan main living room and the bathroom, and stairs up to the double bedroom.

The open plan living room and kitchen are a good size and the whole space has great natural light thanks to two tall windows (including a bay) in the living area, a window in the kitchen, and a vaulted ceiling that’s open along one side to the bedroom above. The living room measures 13’9” by 9’2”, so there is plenty of space for a lounge area and dining table. An arch in one corner leads to the 7’3” by 5’3” kitchen which is well-equipped and has an efficient layout. White handleless fitted floor cabinets with a practical tiled splashback line two walls and accommodate freestanding appliances, and wall units provide additional storage space. A window provides leafy views and ventilation. Conveniently located in the hall, the mainly tiled bathroom has a bath with a mixer shower, a freestanding washbasin and WC.

Stairs lead up to the bedroom which has the light and airy feel of a mezzanine space thanks to its generous size (13’9” by 11’10”), the absence of a door at the top of the stairs, a vaulted ceiling, and one side of the room being open to the living room below. This could be easily altered if an enclosed bedroom is preferred. The bedroom has a window with far-reaching views, and two full height storage cupboards.

The property is in a good condition throughout with double glazing and gas central heating. The décor is mainly white and the hall, stairs, living room and bedroom are carpeted. Outside, the well-kept communal grounds include lawns and mature planting, and the block is set back from the street behind a residents’ car park.

LOCAL LIFE
Located in the heart of thriving Palmers Green, the property is just moments from the many local independent shops, cafes and other stores along Alderman’s Hill, and 1.5 miles north of the town centre of Wood Green (a 10-minute drive).

Rail and road links are good; it’s a mere five-minute walk to Palmers Green station, which has 22-minute train journeys into King’s Cross, and the North Circular Road is a five-minute drive.

There are plenty of high quality public parks and green spaces in the local area, including 54-acre Broomfield Park with its open green spaces, orchard, sensory garden and conservatory, lakes, playground, and various sports facilities is less than five minutes’ walk from the apartment.
